Lexus ES300 1997 Driving Tips

DRIVING TIPS
159 Keep your vehicle tuned±up and in top shape. A dirty
air cleaner, improper valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil
and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc. all lower engine
performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For
longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all
maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive
under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives
more frequent maintenance. (For scheduled maintenance
information, please refer to the separate ªOwner's Manual
Supplement/Maintenance Scheduleº.)
CAUTION!
Never turn off the engine to coast down hills. Your
power steering and brake booster will not function
without the engine running. Also, the emission
control system operates properly only when the
engine is running.
